X Boxes, And Playstations and gameboys oh my!

Forget students asking you to play the latest movie theme music, soon you are going to get requests to play video game theme songs at your next concert. How do you feel about that?
You can get a taste of what it might be like when the Detroit symphony orchestra plays its “Dear Friends: Music from Final Fantasy” concerts this summer. Has anyone had their students create video game music? If so was it done with/for electronic instruments or computer? Arranged for acoustic instruments?
Wow. This saddens me a little. Everything these days is revolved around the television. I have been to a few concerts that are all preformed by computers. The visial part of them is very interesting, but the music that is being performed i don’t like. With the whold videogame music, i guess it would be alright if it was not performed all by computers. If the music was being performed by the classical concert orchestra/band, then i think maybe once every few years that would be a nice change to see a concet like that. Getting the sheet music might be the difficult task…
